Selena's Thoughts: Real by Katy Evans

5 Stars

He even makes me forget my name. One night was all it took, and I forgot everything and anything except the sexy fighter in the ring who sets my mind ablaze and my body on fire with wanting…

Remington Tate is the strongest, most confusing man I’ve ever met in my life.

He’s the star of the dangerous underground fighting circuit, and I’m drawn to him as I’ve never been drawn to anything in my life. I forget who I am, what I want, with just one look from him. When he’s near, I need to remind myself that I am strong–but he is stronger. And now it’s my job to keep his body working like a perfect machine, his taut muscles primed and ready to break the bones of his next opponents . . .

But the one he’s most threatening to, now, is me.

I want him. I want him without fear. Without reservations.

If only I knew for sure what it is that he wants from me?

Well, now that I have gotten that nonsense out of the way, let's get to the REAL reason we are here. And that would be for me to let Remy know that I am pretty sure I wanna have his babies. ^_^ Teheehee

Ok, Ok, Ok..... my review.

When I first started reading this I thought, "Oh know this is gonna be ust like Beautiful Disaster isn't it?", but as I continued to read it was so NOT. Yes the beginning is similar in the way it begins while they are at a fight, Remy is there in the ring in all his glory (seriously people, BABIES) while Brooke is in the crowd... eyes lock, hearts pound, girly parts awake .... cut to drool moment. And then ______ and Holy Christ almighty!!

GULP FAINTS

The similarity ends at the fact that the first scene is at the fight. And the story takes on a life of its own. There is really no way to describe how I felt while reading this book. Love, Lust, Longing, all of the above. You are going along in the story and everything is just peachy and then suddenly it isn't. One simple sentence and your whole world is rocked. Suddenly, what you think is going on IS and you just wanna go back to two pages ago when everything was perfect. I completely fell in love with Remy, over and over and over again while reading this.

Brooke is 100% what he needs and she wants to be exactly that, but in a lot of ways she has no clue how to do that. She is so scared she will say or do the wrong thing when all she wants to do is protect him with every fiber of her being. This is one of the books that I will always wish I could read again for the first time. Highly recommending.
